The longest period which any form OF gov
ernment endured from the fall of Bastile to
the present time was seventeen years,six and
a half months for the Orleanist, and seven
teen years and nine months for the second
empire. The present has already lasted
nearly as long as either of these. If there is
as is reported, superstitious belief in
France that no government can last more
eighteen years, the popular mind mas yet be-
come reconciled to a more radical change
than the substitution of another President
for Greyy.

We are glad to see that Green's
boro has done what Asheville found
it indispensable to dot voted al
most unanimously on the 28th in
favor of issuing bonds to the amount
of one hundr, d thousand dollars for
public Improvements. In these
days when the principles of santa.
ton are understood and recognized,
when the convenience of the citizen
is to be cared for, and when the
public safety is to be provided for
that is wise economy which intro-
duces abundant water supply,
makes smooth the public thorough
fares, and regards the principles OF
external attractiveness as essential
elements of prosperity. That town
or city that neglects these is blind to
its best interests, and must fall be-
hind. It repels, rather than attracts,
and new enterprises and investments
are discouraged through the evil
dences of municipal apathy. We
are very sure if the people of Ashe-.
vile had turned deaf ear to the
call made upon them to authorize
the issue of bonds to the amount of
one hundred thousand dollars for
increase of water supply and inl-
provement of the streets. we should
see little of that activity which now
animates every interest. The regret
now is that the proposition was not
more extensive. The bonds were
readily sold at par; and the influence
of what has been done is already so
manifest-in the increase of popula-
ton and Of property valuation, that
the tax payers is satisfied of his
ability to bear'such burden as that
imposed by debt at first ad object
ofgravs concern.

Is the title of the Novel that is
now going in serial form through
the columns of the CITIZEN. That
the author is a man of note and
consequence will appear when so
noted a Journal as the Pail Mall Ga
zctte has given him prominence.
We quote the folio wing:
"The Pail Mall Gazette has caused
some stir in literary circles in Eng>
land by accusing Mr.. Rider Hag-
gard of serious plagiarizing from
Moore's 'Epicurean" in his novel
"She,' and with transferring bodily
to Jess" his latest work. certain
poem which appeared years ago in
transatlantic monthly. Haggard's s
wife aud Dongman. the publisher
assert that Haggard never saw,
much read Moore's' 'Epicurean," and
that the poem was sent him seven
years by a young lady in South Af-
-ica, who led the the guileless nov,
elist to suppose it was her own in
tellectual offspring. However, Hag-
tgard being in Cypress, working uE
local coloring fora new novel, we
shall have to wait some time before
we have a complete explanation. $

JAY GOULD IN AsHEvILLE.


Our breath was almost taken
away late yesterday evening
by the announcement that Jay
Gould had reached the city in his
special car. 1t is impossible to de-
scribe our feelings upon this an
nouncement. If there was anything
in life we have lived and struggled
for, outside of the fence-iaw squabble,
it was to live to see the time when
Jay Gould would visit Ashsvills;
and the excited pleasure of the sew
eral friends who rushed in to tell us
"Jay Gould is here" not only inten-
sifed, but sustained our heartfelt
pleasure.
At last. Jay Gould was in Ashe-
villel He had come in his own,
splendid palace car. He had not
only done this, but he and his were
actually at the Battery Park. After
recovering from the announcement,
we ventured to telephone to the
Park to enquire after Mr.. Gould's
health and state of mind, and spec
tally if he would not take a large
block of stock in the Atlanta, Ashes
vile and Baltimore Railroad, as
well as the Asheville Street Railway,
and the improvement of our coun-
ty roads in general. Language fails
us in expressing our feelings upon
learning that the distinguished cap
italist and public improver and phi>
lanthropist was not here. We ask
the prayers of our friends for us-we
can go no farther in this distressful
narrative. Love unrequited is said
to be hurtful ; but hopes like truth,
crushed to earth-well, its simply
awful Jay Gould is not here.

During the last six years A,OO0
persons have died of cholera ia the
city of Calcutta and its suourbs,
Any attempt to improve the sanita4
~ condition of this "home of chol.
era" deserves attention even in
America, for Calcutta has been
q standing menace to the health of
the . world. From it chokrs. has
been carried in all directions. The
Calcutta Health Society, founded
three years ago, appears to be doing
good work. It recently reported
that the great mortality from clolera
was directly traceabl0 to the filthy
condition Of certain plague spots,
to defects in the drainage system,
to the want Of proper control of the
milk supply, and to the deficiency
of the water supply" These are
causes that can be removed. That
the water supply il not what
lit ought to be is show by the
statement that of 200 samples of
tank and we'll waters analyze3 some
time ago, IA per cent. were true
sewages, 224per cent were dilute
sewages, 20 per cent contaminated
with considerable quantities of sew
age, 8 per cent were dirty, and only
4 or per cent moderately SAFE"
